Hi Rideeta,

Thank you for your response.  Your ex-boyfriend is the one that has hurt you and himself for that matter.  He strung you along in the hopes that you would change.  What was wrong with him changing?  He had the same opportunity to change as you did.  True love accepts people for who they are.  Perhaps you’ve come to realize that moving on to new people after you’ve broken up was none of his business.  You were free to enter into new relationships.  You didn’t have to heal first.  Please do not regret your actions.  You cannot change them.  As you said, you were young and probably still are and you are learning about love and relationships.  If you don’t engage in another relationship you will miss the opportunity to learn.

There are things I want to say to you but I don’t really know how – I want to lift you up and out of this place you are finding yourself in.  I want to shine a light into you so that you can see your own beauty.  I want you to let your own brilliance shine.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.  We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?  Actually, who are you not to be?”

“As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give people permission to do the same.  As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
